The Huo family is a disciplined clan.
However, today, a major incident occurred.
Shen Yin and Huo Yanlin unexpectedly had a fight.
Huo Yanlin is the designated next family head by Old Master. Shen Yin was allowed by Old Master to enter the Huo’s company today, paving the way for an unlimited future…
But today, the two of them actually had a fight.
Of course, calling it a fight wouldn’t be entirely accurate; they just exchanged a couple of punches before being stopped.
Judging by the face, Shen Yin seemed to be more injured.
However, judging by the expressions, it should be Huo Yanlin who was more seriously hurt.
Huo Yanlin’s expression was painful, but he insisted, “She was faking it.”
He just saw that woman give him a triumphant smile before fainting; that expression clearly showed success, wasn’t it clear that she was pretending?
Shen Yin also felt that Song Tan was pretending.
After all, this wasn’t the first time.
But he still had to go along with her.
So, after she fainted, he first beat Huo Yanlin.
Those two punches were quite powerful.
Judging by Huo Yanlin’s appearance, it must have hurt.
Shen Yin’s fingers brushed the bloodstains on his lips, wiped away the blood on his fingers, and then looked at Song Tan.
Song Tan had just been placed on the sofa by him. Now he went to hold her, calling her name, “Song Tan? Song Tan?”
In theory, if she was pretending, she should wake up faintly at this moment.
However, looking at Song tAn’s slightly pale lips and the slight blush on her cheeks, something seemed abnormal.
Shen Yin reached out, placing the back of his hand on Song Yun’s forehead.
It was very hot.
Shen Yin’s brows immediately furrowed.
“The doctor is here, the doctor is here.”
The family doctor, upon receiving the news, finally rushed over.
“Hurry, take a look at her; her temperature is very high.”
Song Tan’s temperature didn’t even need a thermometer to measure; just her forehead was scalding.
“This is the medicine she usually takes, and this is her medical history.”
Shen Yin’s voice trembled, but when he took out the list of medications and medical history records, he was calm and efficient.
The onlookers from the Huo family around secretly thought, Shen Yin really isn’t pretending to like Song Tan; it’s genuine affection.
Otherwise, why would he consider things so meticulously?
Huo Yanlin looked on silently, holding his chest. When Shen Yin had just fought with him, Shen Yin had really struck hard, and he felt a lingering pain in his chest.
In recent times, he had clashed with Shen Yin frequently and found that Shen Yin was not a simple person.
At least, he had underestimated Shen Yin before.
He wondered if letting Shen Yin into the Huo’s company was a good or bad decision.
As for the person next to him, Song Tan…
Huo Yanlin didn’t care about her life or death.
She was already a sickly person; even if she fainted for real, it was her own doing, and it had nothing to do with him.
If something really happened to her…
A chill ran through Huo Yanlin’s heart.
That would be just perfect.
Song Tan is having a seizure.
“When she has a seizure, it’s like this. Sometimes she’s cold, and sometimes she’s hot. When it’s cold, you need to cover her, and when it’s hot, you need to cool her down. Oh… right, she also needs to drink water, seems like she has to drink saline water, a bit troublesome.”
Although Song Jiaojiao had never taken care of Song Tan, she had known Song Tan’s condition for many years and roughly knew what to do when Song Tan had a seizure.
However, Song Jiaojiao found it extremely troublesome.
Whenever Song Tan fell ill, Grandpa would only focus on Song Tan, making her serve Song Tan tea and water.
Like a young lady from a wealthy family.
Listening to Song Jiaojiao’s tone, Shen Yin slightly furrowed his brows.
It wasn’t the time to deal with her now.
“Alright, is there anything else to pay attention to?”
Song Jiaojiao thought for a moment. “I don’t think so.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After saying this, Shen Yin turned around and left.
It seemed he was going back to take care of Song Tan.
Song Jiaojiao felt that Shen Yin was really eager to court trouble. By getting involved with Song Tan, he was probably going to serve Song Tan like a devoted follower for the rest of his life.
“He is willing to bear this trouble himself, so let him bear it.”
After asking Song Jiaojiao, Shen Yin returned.
At this moment, Song Tan lay on the bed with closed eyes.
She slept uneasily, her eyelashes trembling lightly. Her once rosy lips were now pale, devoid of color, and had some dead skin.
Shen Yin brought over a bowl of warm water, dipped a cotton swab in it, and moistened her lips.
After moisturizing her lips, he took a towel and wiped away her sweat.
While doing these things, he focused on looking at Song Tan lying on the bed, clearing his mind and not thinking about anything, only concentrating on making the person in front of him a bit more comfortable.
When he saw her frowning and then relaxing, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
But before he could relax completely, Song Tan’s face twisted in pain again.
This time, it was due to the cold.
Her originally slightly flushed cheeks almost instantly lost their color, turning pale, and she began to shiver from the cold.
As Shen Yin touched her cheek, she grabbed his hand.
Her lips were trembling.
Her once pale lips had turned somewhat dark now.
“Cold.”
The one word uttered by Song Yan’s trembling lips were not clear, but Shen Yin heard them.
He reached over and embraced her completely.
Without him adjusting her posture, the person in his arms naturally snuggled closer.
Like a little cat, her head rubbed against his chest.
“Song Tan?”
Song Tan’s eyes were half-open, appearing as if she had just woken up.
“Hug.”
Because her throat was inflamed, her voice was hoarse.
She didn’t want to talk.
Right now, her head felt dizzy, and she just wanted to find a heat source.
Behind her was warmth.
She desperately wanted to burrow into that warmth.
Shen Yin felt his breath getting heavy as she nestled against him, but seeing her pale face, he felt a bit helpless.
Being sick, she was indeed a troublesome person.
Shen Yin sighed, tightened his arms, and encircled her completely.
Perhaps because he hugged her tightly, Song Tan in his arms let out a comfortable whimper.
Shen Yin’s body tensed.
This delicate flower seems quite fragile, as if it could break with just a slight touch.
Oh, what a troubling person.
Song Tan is not completely unconscious; her awareness fluctuates between clarity and haziness.
But she knows that Shen Yin has been by her side all along.
When she’s cold, he comes to hold her. When she’s hot, he brings towels to wipe away her sweat and cool her down.
Song Tan’s head is muddled, and she lacks the energy to think about anything, relying solely on her instincts.
Certainly, in those rare moments of clarity, she feels that she made the right choice.
If she had chosen Huo Yanlin today, he would definitely wish for her death.
But not Shen Yin.
Whatever his reasons for taking care of her, for her, it is a great stroke of luck.
She doesn’t want to die.
She doesn’t like being a protagonist or what, she just wants to live well.
Whether it’s in the past or now.
Song Tan’s illness came on suddenly, and Shen Yin has been taking care of her all along.
“I didn’t expect it. Shen Yin is really a devoted person.”
“He must have liked her for a long time, right? Otherwise, why would he marry Song Tan if he didn’t really want to?”
“That’s true.”
These past few days, Shen Yin hasn’t appeared in front of everyone, but his presence is definitely felt.
Almost because of taking care of Song Tan, he hasn’t even left the house.
During this time, Old Master Huo sent someone to replace him, but he refused and insisted on taking care of his wife himself.
The people in the Huo family grew up in luxury, never having done any caretaking work.
Shen Yin doesn’t use servants and personally takes care of Song Tan. In the eyes of others, it shows deep affection.
Although most people think this behavior is a bit silly and something they would never do, they still feel… Shen Yin does seem to really love Song Tan.
Huo Yanlin has heard this comment more than once recently.
He also went to check, but Shen Yin chased him out.
This Shen Yin…
Huo Yanlin frowned, and he would have to discuss this with his Grandpa.
If Shen Yin is not pretending and is really in love, it might be difficult to get the prescription from Song Tan.
Under Shen Yin’s warm care, Song Tan’s illness improves quite quickly.
At least much faster than the last time.
Last time, she only had a hired nurse watching over her.
The nurse did her job for the money.
After doing what was required of her, she wouldn’t do anything else.
Therefore, the nurse only takes care of her basic needs, but not with such meticulous attention.
Shen Yin is different.
When she has a fever, she can feel someone helping her with physical cooling.
When she feels cold, Shen Yin wraps her entire body in his arms.
When she wakes up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, Shen Yin immediately wakes up and gently pats her back.
Although she is still somewhat unconscious, she is aware of everything Shen Yin does.
Without his careful care, she would not have recovered so quickly.
Song Tan is no longer feverish now, but her throat is still red and swollen, and she feels a bit lethargic.
Shen Yin brings her a cup of hot water and then takes her temperature again.
Previously, he used to measure her temperature regularly, continuing until she no longer had a fever.
With the thermometer gun pressed against Song Tan’s forehead, she opens her eyes wide and looks at him.
Her eyelashes flicker, showing a bit more vitality than a few days ago.
“Shen Yin.”
Song Tan speaks hoarsely.
“Your throat is still inflamed, speak less.”
Indeed, Song Tan’s throat hurts quite a bit.
However, she wants to talk to Shen Yin.
After thinking for a moment, she takes out her phone and types a message.
At the moment she sends it, Shen Yin’s phone rings.
He glances at her, takes out his phone, and reads the message she sent.
[ Thank you. ]
Followed by a cute emoticon.
“You’re welcome.”
Shen Yin’s tone is quite indifferent, but his actions show that he is getting medicine for Song Tan.
[ Without your care, I might not have made it through. ]
This time, for some reason, it’s more serious than before.
If she hadn’t married Shen Yin and tried to stay in the Song family, not only would Song Zhiwen’s family not take care of her, but they might also take advantage of her vulnerability. The last caregiver she hired, though not very enthusiastic, still had a sense of justice and secretly reminded her of this. If she had married Huo Yanlin, according to the original plot, he wouldn’t take care of her at all and might even ask for her prescription.
These people wouldn’t take care of her like Shen Yin does.
In fact, her plan was to hire someone to take care of her, and Shen Yin only needed to pretend. He just had to pay attention to the caregiver and make sure nothing went wrong.
But her illness came suddenly this time, and the caregiver she hired had not been confirmed.
Shen Yin could have easily let the servants take care of her, but he didn’t.
He personally took care, and the care was extremely meticulous.
Song Tan truly felt a variety of complex emotions in her heart.
However, these emotions, after days of suffering from illness, she had sorted out quite a few thoughts.
Regardless of whether Shen Yin was pretending or for other reasons, for her, they were now on the same boat.
If he truly couldn’t let go of the affection with the Huo family, then when she had enough capability without being threatened by others, she would divorce him.
If he firmly stood on her side… then, they should have a relatively decent marriage.
Being able to marry a meticulous person like Shen Yin, and living with someone like him, should be a very happy thing.
So, if he wanted to enter Huo’s company, then let him go.
Song Tan sent a message to Shen Yin : [ I’m almost fine now. You don’t have to keep watching over me. Go and do what you want to do. ]
What did he want to do?
Shen Yin saw the message on WeChat on the table, glanced at her, and continued preparing the medicine. The hot water poured into the cup, and his hands were steady.
[ Go to work, come on! ] accompanied by a Pikachu cheering emoticon.
Shen Yin’s hand trembled slightly.
Author’s note :
Wise husband Shen Yin : Oh, what a troubling person.
This sudden recurring illness, it should be some substitution of what’s happened in the original plot, right?
It’s said that she fell ill after she’s moved to live alone in the “cold palace” and she’s almost died at that time because the servants were practically ignoring her. In this life, she wasn’t moved to live in that place. But, somehow her illness recurred as if to “fill in the blank” of her “fate”.
When SY said he’d been waiting an opportunity to join the Huo’s company, it should be because he’s put his revenge plan on motion, right? He can “take back” Project An No.1 as an outsider of the company in the initial phase of revenge. So, he could stay low key after he initially rejected the offer of joining the company until then. But, the next phase needs him as an “insider” of the company. So, he “has been tried to join the company and looking for a way to accomplish it.” Is that so?
Also, kudos for the author on maintaining the minimum “disgusting level” of the Huo on (almost) every chapters. 😅 Either it’s their arrogance, insatiable greed, how they’d twist the narrative to suit their “palate” (desires), etc. , the author never forget to narrate it.
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
